Land of the Hundred Years' War

...Sigh. We managed to reach here safely, Senpai.

We were teleported by accident last time. This time it's a proper teleport via the Coffin with no physical anomalies.

Fou! Fou! Fou!

Fou? Did you tag along again?

Fou... kyuu, kyao...

？！

...Seems that way. He must have sneaked into mine or Senpai's Coffin.

Luckily, Fou was unharmed.

Since he is attached to one of us, when we return he will automatically return as well.

？！

Yes. We share the same fate.

Master. I have confirmed the time axis coordinates. Looks like it's the year 1431.

It means we're in the middle of the Hundred Years' War. But this should be during the war's respite period.

？！

Right, The Hundred Years' War did not fight for the full 100 years as the name implies.

The war during this era was pretty carefree, relatively speaking.

Captured knights were released for monetary payments almost every day... Senpai?

？！

What is... Huh?

Yes, we're connected! Not the best quality, but I've got video feed now too!

Wait, what's wrong you two? Both of you staring at the sky like that.

Doctor, I'll send you visuals. What is that?

This is

A ring of light... No, some form of magecraft cast over the satellite orbit?

In any case it's gigantic. At worst, it's as big as North America?

Hmmm, no records show such phenomena occurring in 1431.

It's surely one of the reasons for the disappearance of our future. We'll have to analyze it on our end...

You guys concentrate on surveying onsite. Start by searching for leylines.

What the Doctor said.

Explore the area, make contact with the people of this era, set up the summoning circle, there are many things to do.

We have to knock them out one at a time. Let's first move towards a city, Senpai.

Senpai, stop. Confirming... Looks like a French scout brigade.

What do we do? Should we attempt to make contact?

They look like humanoids. I'm sure we can come to a peaceful resolution.

？！

Hello, excuse me. We are travelers

...

?

Fou?

Eek! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

Yoo-hoo, I'm free now so lemme see how you're... Wait, why are you surrounded by an armed group?

...I apologize. My mistake. I should've greeted them in French.

？！

Of course. But now, I believe that combat is unavoidable.

You're starting with a fight? With French elites, even!

W-Well, let's calm down first! That world is isolated.

No matter what happens, a time paradox can't occur. So engaging them won't be a problem, but...

Doctor, give us an idea. Don't you know any French jokes for times like this?

Hell if I know, I'm a loner! But wait, let me think...

I just need to think of a witty joke, right? Like "knock, knock!"

I'm hearing a silly voice from somewhere... All hands, ready your weapons! They're too suspicious!

I apologize, Senpai. It was wrong of me to expect something from the Doctor.

I think it would be bad to harm the locals. We should attack to hold them back!

？！

D-Did I say something wrong?

In that case, hit them with the back of your blade! Limit the bloodshed to a minimum! Back of the blade!

？！

I-I'll think of something! FIREEE!

No, burning is out of the question too!

...Sigh. Physical fatigue aside, the mental fatigue is overwhelming.

Thank you very much, Senpai.

I didn't even know that was possible with a shield. I learned something today.

？！

But...

It seems like I didn't hit hard enough. They've retreated.

They're going back to their fort. Let's quietly chase them and ask what's going on.

Try not to aggravate them next time. Make sure you talk to them in French, okay?

Bonjour, monsieur. ...I see, perfect. Leave it to me.

Danke schoen, Herr. I see, somewhat perfect. I'll leave it to you.

？！
